Sydney Clinical Equipment Testing

Electrical testing of medical equipment is generally a lot more involved than testing of non-medical equipment and includes performance verification and tests that assess the risk to a patient should an electrical fault occur when connected or in contact with the patient.

There are a number of tests to ensure the safety, accuracy and longevity of biomedical equipment. Routine testing and maintenance can assist in mitigating the risk associated with the use of medical equipment on patients and the operators. Some of the general types of testing are summarised below.

• Electrical Safety Test
• Performance Verification
• Calibration
• Preventative Maintenance
• Software Upgrades

The frequency of equipment testing and maintenance varies on an item by item basis and generally falls back to manufacturer recommendations. It is generally accepted that testing should occur at least every 12 months and in high use or adverse environments then this should be more frequent. Property Compliance Group will assess your equipment and conditions and recommend testing and maintenance intervals to ensure the safety and accuracy of your equipment.
